I finally got Ubuntu 10.04 ,an FTP server apache2 2.2.14 and zoneminder 1.24.2 working with the help of the
many people who bothered to respond to the many problems on this forum. I spent many days reviewing the responses
to get my programs working. I have three wired webcams recording decent video. It's ok because it's only for a
home security.
My problem is that i decided to put some security in place and started by activating authentication with hashing.
in zoneminder. I restarted zoneminder and the login screen appeared. I put in my user name and password. This is
the name and password i thought i used when i installed zoneminder.
The screen said done but the login screen remained. I tried other login names and passwords but got nowhere. I
began to think i unknowingly changed it while making changes to get the software to work.
I got into mysql-- the only user/pass i could find was zmuser and zmpass (hashed # shown below). The only change i
get on the login page is if i enter admin as user and admin as password. it says it is logging me in then returns
to the login screen.
can anyone give me a hint as to where to start looking??
ps.--no other users were entered into the system and i'm the only user for now.
thanks

ok
after reading wiki and more of this forum, it looks like admin is a valid logon. But it looks like i'm stuck in a loop. The login should kick me out to zoneminder. Can anyone tell me where the decision is made to accept a valid login??
